Fishing near Breda, North Brabant

Breda sits in the heart of North Brabant, where the Mark and Aa of Weerijs wind through the city and its surrounding Markdal valley. The area is classic lowland Dutch river fishing: slow to moderate currents, weedy margins, and a mix of coarse species. Further out, the Hollandsch Diep and Bergsche Maas open up larger water, while De Biesbosch National Park to the north adds tidal creeks and reed-fringed channels to the mix.
